The Financial Review Rich List 2017 marks the 34th edition of the annual ranking of Australia's most affluent individuals, released by The Australian Financial Review on 25 May 2017. Originating in 1984, the list was initially featured in BRW or Business Review Weekly until the closure of the BRW website by Fairfax Media in March 2016. Subsequently, the compilation was incorporated into The Australian Financial Review Magazine and renamed the Financial Review Rich List.

In 2017, Anthony Pratt topped the list as Australia's wealthiest person, with an estimated net worth of 12.60 billion AUD. The total wealth of the top 200 individuals amounted to 230 billion AUD, a substantial rise from the initial combined figure of 6.4 billion AUD in 1984. Among those listed in 2017, fifteen were women while the remaining 185 were men.
